Sprinkle fruit seeds into a pot and green sprouts pop up, growing even faster than pothos

Huahua recently visited the flower market and found that even a palm-sized small potted plant costs over ten yuan, and once you take it home it is hard to keep alive, which is simply a waste of money. Actually, the fruit seeds left over from what we eat in summer can all be grown into potted plants, and even a child can grow them until they burst the pot. If you do not believe it, pick a few from below and try them~

Lychee

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

Take the leftover lychee pits after eating, remove the remaining flesh on them, wash them clean, soak them in water and put them in a cool place, changing the water once a day, and they will sprout in 3-5 days.

The lychee sprout will emerge from the white end. Insert it into the flower soil with the sprout facing up, keep it in a place with diffused light, spray water on the sprout every morning and evening, and in 3-7 days it will shoot up into a small seedling.

After the seedling's growth is stable, water it once every 1-2 days, and in less than a month it can grow into a dense potted plant. It does not need special care, and placed beside the TV or in the study it can also protect against radiation and relieve eye fatigue.

Mango

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

After eating a mango, scrape the flesh off the pit clean, leaving the white coating, then use scissors or a fruit knife to cut the coating open, and inside is the mango seed.

Soak the mango kernel in clean water. Because it is fairly large, the water only needs to cover half of it. After it sprouts in 5-7 days, plant it in a flowerpot with the sprout facing up (let the sprout show), put it in a bright place, and water it once every 1-2 days.

A home-grown mango looks like a money tree, but it is much easier to grow than a money tree, tolerant of drought and heat. Gardeners in southern areas such as Guangzhou, Fujian, Hainan and Taiwan, China can even grow it until it bears mangoes!

Dragon fruit

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

Dragon fruit seeds look like sesame seeds. If there are children at home, let them pick the seeds out, rinse them on fine gauze or cotton cloth, scatter them directly in the potting soil, then spray them wet, and put them in a cool place; they will sprout in about 3-5 days.

Dragon fruit sprouts and bursts the pot in less than a week. At this point you can move it to a bright place and spray water every day. In about 5-7 days, it begins to grow stems like a cactus column.

Once it has taken shape, dragon fruit is very tolerant of heat and drought and does not need special care. In summer, water it once every 2-3 days, and by autumn it can grow into a large pot.

Apricot kernel

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

Carefully crack the apricot pit open and take out the apricot kernel inside to plant. You can also sow it with the pit, but that is slower.

Put the apricot kernel on moist toilet paper to sprout, or cover it with another layer of wet toilet paper, keep it in a cool place, spray water every day to keep it moist, and it will sprout in 3-7 days. Place it with the sprout facing up in moist granular soil, spray water every day, and it will quickly take root.

Apricot seedlings can be kept in a bright place, or planted in the ground. With normal care, they can bear fruit in about 4 years.

Watermelon

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

When eating watermelon in summer, you can keep the plump watermelon seeds, rinse them, scatter them in a flowerpot, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, spray them wet, and put them in a cool place; or cover the mouth of the flowerpot with plastic wrap, poke a few holes for ventilation, and they will sprout in less than a week.

When the seedlings grow to about 10 cm, do not water too much. Water only when you see the soil is dry, so the watermelon does not grow leggy. If it grows too long, it is not only ugly but also takes up space.

Watermelon generally flowers about 1 month after planting. Use a cotton swab to brush the female and male flower stamens (hand pollination), and after that small watermelons can grow. If there are children at home, you must plant a few!

Grape

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

When eating grapes, the grape seeds are always astringent. Spit them out and throw them into a flowerpot, lightly cover them with a layer of soil, spray a little water every day and they will sprout. Super easy to grow!

Caring for grape seedlings is also very simple. Water only when the soil is dry, no need to be too diligent. You can just put it on the balcony and let it get as much sun as it likes, but it is not very easy to bear fruit, and even if it does bear fruit you have to wait several years~

Pineapple

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

Huahua has seen many gardeners water-propagating pineapple tops. It really is very easy to grow: just put the top in water and it will take root. Are gardeners looking forward to it growing a pineapple?

After rooting, the pineapple top can be transplanted into soil, preferably acidic leaf mold soil and coconut coir soil mixed with garden soil. After planting, put it in a bright place, water when the soil is dry, and do not be too diligent, to avoid leggy growth.

As for whether it can bear a pineapple, that is still decided by the climate. If gardeners in the Hainan area plant pineapple tops, the chance of fruiting is very high~

Durian

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

Durian seeds are very large. After eating the durian flesh, wash the seeds clean and soak them in clean water. They do not need much water; just cover half of the seeds, and they will sprout in 5-10 days.

Plant the sprouted durian seed in soil with the sprout facing up, leaving the sprout exposed and not burying it too deep. Then it will first grow a section of stem like a cashew, and after that grow branches and leaves. At this point, keep it in a bright place and water only when the soil is dry, to prevent leggy growth.

A home-grown durian is suitable for making a bonsai. Gardeners who like old stumps and bonsai can plant a few, and can even create artistic shapes~

Jackfruit

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

For sweet jackfruit, you only need to soak the seeds in clean water and put them in a cool place at home, and they will sprout in 5-10 days; you can also bury them directly in a flowerpot, no need to distinguish up from down, just bury them shallowly, then water thoroughly, and afterward just keep the potting soil moist.

Seeds that have not been pre-sprouted in water will sprout a little later. After sprouting, keep them in a bright place, do not water too much, spray the soil surface wet every day, and in about 1-2 weeks they will grow leaves.

Jackfruit is tolerant of heat and drought, and growing it does not require being too diligent; just treat it rough. Water when you see the soil is dry, and on the balcony it will quickly grow into a "small forest." Keep one pot at home to purify the air~

Pomegranate

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

Take the leftover pomegranate seeds after eating, rub off the remaining flesh with clean water, put them in a flowerpot, no need to bury them, just scatter them evenly, keep them in a cool place and keep them moist, and they will sprout in about 5-7 days.

After sprouting, you can move them to a place with diffused light and spray water every day to keep them moist. When the stems of the seedlings turn red, move them to a bright place, and remove some weak seedlings so they are not too crowded and do not affect growth.

After pomegranate seedlings grow bigger, it is best to plant them in leaf mold soil or peat soil mixed with garden soil. During care, pay attention to topdressing: fermented rice-washing water, fruit peel fertilizer, leftover rice fertilizer and so on are all fine. Even if planted in a pot, it can bear fruit~

Passion fruit

Growing Flowers Complete Guide

After rubbing passion fruit seeds clean, soak them in clean water. The water does not need to be too much; just cover the seeds. Put them in a cool place and they will sprout in about 3-5 days. If you find it troublesome, you can also scatter them directly in a pot and wait for them to sprout on their own.

Scatter the sprouted seeds on the potting soil, and they will take root on their own. Spray water every day to add moisture, and seedlings will emerge in about a week. After the seedlings are taller than 12 cm, do not water too much; water when the soil is dry. After a month, you can set up a trellis to let the seedlings climb.

Gardeners south of the Yangtze River can grow passion fruit until it flowers and fruits. Gardeners in the north will only get flowers, not fruit. However, passion fruit and clematis are close relatives, so it is also very good as an ornamental climbing flower.
